Well I guess I am going to share a photo of the current progress of my 250g. I have been reluctant too for a number of reasons.

1. The tank is only about 4 months old and is bare of any significant sized corals.
2. The sand is ugly, covered in frags!!
3. It doesnt really compare to many of the tanks here! LOL!
4. It's hard to tell the aquascape shape. The picture makes it look like two mounds of rock, but if you could see it in person you could see how parts of the rock on each side extend forward and backwards and give it a nice design. There is no rock touching the back, in fact there are several inches off the back wall.
5. I am terrible at FTS!!
6. I don't have many fish.....yet!

So you asked for it and here it is.....

Now why on earth would you be embarassed to show off that beautiful tank. For a young tank I think it has plenty of color!! Keep up the good work and try to make your tank a little less photoshy! LOL

tell your wife that your corals aren't that small (they're not) and a good reefs like fine tequila; it needs to age!
